The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Arbitration Process

A party desiring to initiate an arbitration upon a Dispute must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will either be a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA rules.

Unless the parties to the Dispute agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, unless either party requests a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

The arbitrator will render an award within the time specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusion upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the provisions of these Terms, and may only award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. The prevailing party will be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

Survival

This Dispute Resolution section shall survive these Terms, any termination of the Website or your use of the Website.
